I just Played XBOX 360 AND OMG!!!!

[Alan Freeman]

I left work very tired today and went to my local Walmart to get some Asprin for my dad and Guess what i saw some Little mexican kid Playing the Xbox 360 in the electronics dept. I RUSHED to the controler not even caring after i knocked the little bugger down and there i was Amazed at the brilliance of it. I stood there for a good 15 min. just staring at the screen . They had KING KONG playing in the system . Let me tell you guys The game is BY FAR THE BEST LOOKING GAME I've seen so far as far as visuals go. I played the demo of king kong on my super computer with everything maxed and it did even compare to the 360's graphics , I was in awww The guys that are thinking about geting this system i would stop thinking and start preodering For many of you guys it might be too late for many retailers are at there second if not third shipments on this system. I dont know what else to say JUST WOW.

For those of you that dont know me I'm a big graphics person and this just blew me away BIG TIME!!!

NOVEMBER 22nd MARK YOUR CALANDERS!!!!! IT"S ALMOST HERE!!!:cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

wow...i seriously cant wait for this system to come out, i know that like 70% of the people here hate Mircosoft with a passion, but i think that they actually did something right with this system

 

[Prince of China]

I wish my local stores have playable kiosks. I hear good things about the Xbox 360 even though it's mostly from people on the TeamXbox forums.

 

[TheSomeone]

They already have xbox360s?

Heres an article on it

But theres a problem, you use a paddle, theres not mouse/keyboard...... and Bill Gates owns it.

It looks like a good system, but I see so many flaws with it.

I quote EGM, it seems more like an upgrade than an entirely new system.

I still don't think that your experience was worth it, considering that you pushed a little boy down to play a flawed console.

*checks email to see if he won the EGM XBOX 360 contest*

 

[destrukt]

playstation 3 is flawed and only an upgrade.

kekeeekzergursh!

 

[gick]

Yeah it may be very pretty, but i'll bet that all the games (as is so often the case with consoles) will be fun for an hour or two and then get boooorrrrring.

2nd December here in Schweden.

[Cormeh]

I'm swithering wether to splurge and buy one, or just wait and see how my mate's one plays. :/

 

[destrukt]

is there an official australian date yet ? last time i heard it was like march

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

You know great graphics and gameplay CAN actually go hand in hand. Why be so pessimistic about a new console, afraid that your money spent on your über pc will seem wasted money after xbox 360 launch? :dozey:

More evidence that videogames cause violent, racist behaviour?

 

[Cukel]

Why the hell would they be wasted, afterall PC is a PC, and console is a console. With consoles you play console games, and with PC you play PC games, plus do many other things. Bah.

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

I was being sarcastic :dozey:

I don't have anything against pc's or consoles, I just can't stand it when people are assuming that something will be bad because it's a console or it's made by Microsoft.

I see, so what about the gameplay? You just marvled over the graphics, but you missed the most important thing. I could care less about the graphics. How fun is it compared to other games? Like Spider-Man 2, HL2, Halo 2, etc..

wow...i seriously cant wait for this system to come out, i know that like 70% of the people here hate Mircosoft with a passion, but i think that they actually did something right with this system

Microsoft just knows how to fight really. They did it with Windows. Though if Google made a console.....well lets just say Microsoft hates Google. Google is Employee Stealer! Microsoft said that Google fights like them, thats why there so hard to beat. That would be a nice competition. Both companies large, both willing to loose tons of money...

You know great graphics and gameplay CAN actually go hand in hand. Why be so pessimistic about a new console

True, it can. But you cannot forget developers can get sooo worried on graphics that they forget the gameplay portion till it's a side-though or waste so much time on the graphics there funder will be like ("I ****ing funded you 30 million get that ****ing game out you piece of shit") then ur like....awww shit!

 

[^Ben]

The graphics and gameplay are down to the developer not microsoft.

They just make the platform.

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

True, it can. But you cannot forget developers can get sooo worried on graphics that they forget the gameplay portion till it's a side-though or waste so much time on the graphics there funder will be like ("I ****ing funded you 30 million get that ****ing game out you piece of shit") then ur like....awww shit!

This is something that is not tied to consoles or Microsoft. Any game made on any platform by any company can be ruined as a result of this.

Ahem. One word. Oblivion.

Probably to the silly things people say, like this:

I can't wait for the 360, and not just for the raw power, but for many games that will come out for it and for Live.

 

[Icarusintel]

last i checked, that's coming out for PC

I honestly stopped caring about what the first poster said after he said King Kon;g graphics were some of the best he's ever seen

 

[Warbie]

last i checked, that's coming out for PC

True, which worries me a little. I'm hoping they don't dumb the game down for the 360 and give it digital movement like on the pc. Full analogue control adds to game like this a great deal.

Just checking, thanks :cheers:

And I'm looking forward to it as well, I've had it with constantly upgrading my pc and tweaking games...

Yeah, because he's really going to be able to gauge how long the gameplay will last after a 15 minute play period. The people dismissing the whole console and range of games completely just because someone describes how fantastic the graphics are (and let's face it, that's the first thing anyone would focus on for a next-gen console) are hilarious.

 

[destrukt]

right on warbie.

high-five axyon.

 

[Kamikazie]

i guess thats why they called it the xbox 360 instead of 2...

 

[VictimOfScience]

That sounds great! I am so annoyed as the rep for my local WalMart Superstore has yet to set up the display, though I have heard that it is indeed sitting there somewhere behind closed doors.

I can't wait to play some of the demos because I am very excited to see exactly what the next generation of consoles has in store for all of us.

Truth be told though, I don't need to go past the 16-bit era to get my gameplay fix. Thankfully, companies like Capcom, Midway, Atari, and Taito have answered the call and I need only spend like $80 for ~100 of the best games ever developed. The classics will always rule in my book. Well, them and my 2600, C64, Amiga, NES, SNES, and Genesis :E.

I think you missed the point of my comment - it's coming out for PC, which is superior in terms of movements, menus and the like for an RPG like Oblivion, which makes me wonder why anyone with a decent computer would even fathom getting it for X360

 

[Warbie]

which is superior in terms of movements

My biggest concern about Oblivion on the 360 is that it's going to sacrifice analogue movement for digital. It's no twitch shooter, and won't benefit from using a mouse for looking around/aiming either (I actually prefer analogue for looking around). Your point about menus is a fair one, though, but pales in comparison to how poor moving with a keyboard is to using a joypad.

It will also cost me a great deal of money to upgrade my pc for Oblivion, far more than a 360 will cost. Add the fact that the 360 is considerbaly more powerful than the best pc money can buy at the moment and it isn't too hard to see why some people are going down this route.

Other than mods, something i'm not that bothered about, I can't think of one reason to play this in the pc. I'd much rather experience Oblivion running with all settings maxed out (which would melt my x800 xtpe) on a big screen while chilling on the sofa.

 

[Alig]

22nd November? It's the 2nd of December in UK and as far as i'm aware this is the first time a game's company has released a console worldwide the same day.

Glad to see you liked it, i've got one on pre-order for the first batch in UK i'm really excited about it even though im a total Sony fanboy when it comes to consoles, and my mum might be buying me a HDTV for my 21st birthday on the 22nd December woot.

 

[Kamikazie]

or maybe the americans could ship a few over there for a small fee...

 

[Absinthe]

This is something that is not tied to consoles or Microsoft. Any game made on any platform by any company can be ruined as a result of this.

QFFT (Quoted For ****ing Truth)

I am sick and tired of people acting as if this is a problem only experienced on consoles. "Omg but teh developes are probly only gunna caer about teh gfx!" What, you think your beloved PC gaming is immune to this shit?

 

[dream431ca]

Sweet!! Condemned is gonna rock!! Yeah I preordered one already...long time ago, I think a month ago..The people who are preordering now will have to wait until the middle of december to get there X360...One question for the thread creator:

Was the game you were playing on a HDTV??

 

[Agent.M]

You know great graphics and gameplay CAN actually go hand in hand. Why be so pessimistic about a new console, afraid that your money spent on your über pc will seem wasted money after xbox 360 launch? :dozey:

Yeah let the hating begin, I just wish my local EB or walmart had some 360 displays.

well, it depends how you judge power. If you tried to run something like WindowsXP on the XBox 360 along with a game the system would grind to a screeching halt.

The difference is the XBox 360 devotes nearly all its resources to just running games, PC's can't do that since most PC users have things running in the background.

For games however, the XBox 360 is a more powerful system.

 

[Warbie]

Sure, i'm talking games here.
